My take: Joan of Arc was FEMALE and a woman. She NEVER "passed"as a man. Male clothes were probably more comfortable, allowed freedom of movement and she could be her Amazon Warrior self in those clothes. She defied Female roles JUST LIKE EVERY ONE OF US BUTCH DYKES DO EVERYDAY by wearing clothes made for males and took her place at the head of her army. Same is true for women in the military who wear combat fatigues in battle. And womens clothes back then were even more restraining and cumbersome with all the various petticoats and all. Much less womens roles. And we do not know one way or another about her sexual orientation. More than likely she was celibate.
She felt IN HER POWER in those clothes, so of course she didnt want to go back to womens clothes or a womens role and be "less than" again. Just like us Butch Dykes dont want to be feminized and diminished by femininity..
But NEVER did she EVER claim she was a man. Nor are we.
Raising energy with a bunch of Witches, Amazons and Wildwomyn with drumming. dancing and a big bonfire is my experience of Sacred Worship...
